Welcome to the Adoption Parenting Playbook: The Loss Your Child Carries Home

Whether you're still waiting for a placement or your child has been home for twelve years, this playbook was written for you.

In this opening episode, Maxine Golden introduces The Adoption Parenting Playbook: A Nervous System Guide to Calming Meltdowns and Building Connection. She explains who the book is for, the frameworks behind it, how its three parts are organized, and what it is and isn't meant to do. The episode ends as Part One begins, and the next episode picks up with the loss your child carries home.
